Start a new Java Visualisation Client

<H2>Description</H2>
This predicates starts a new Java Visualisation Client (VC). The VC survives backtracking over the <code>start_vc/1</code> goal, and persists until it is explicitly terminated. <i>VisClientName</i> becomes instantiated to an atom which can be used when the VC is to be stopped. <p>For <code>start_vc</code> to work correctly, ECLiPSe needs to know where to find the Java installation. To check whether this is so, use <code>find_java/1</code>. If the result of <code>find_java/1</code> is not the root directory of a Java installation (at least version 1.2.2) then the behaviour of <code>start_vc/1</code> prints an error message and fails.
